She saw that she must aban- don all hope of a hat or recreate ber ideal on the basis of a one -dollar working capital. For a moment there was a little swelling of the throat, a little moist- ening of her black Isihee, and there would have been two tiny drops roll- ing over two softly rounded pink checks if the memory of those four glance at the hig;type headlines on the nerve -stands. %Ve know just how many Belgien babies have been born since weir took away their right to exist.

If you get headaches, it's your livor. If you catch cold easily, it's your liver. If you wake up with a bad taste, furred tongue, nasty breath or stomach be- comes rancid, it's your liver. Sallow akin, muddy complexion, watery eyes all denote liver uncleanliness. Your liver is the most important, also the must abused and neglected organ of the body. Few know its function or how to release the dammed -up body waste, bile and toxins. Most folks resort to violent calomel, which is a dangerous, salivating chemical which can only be used occasionally because it accumulates to the tissues, also attacks the bones. Every man and woman, sick or well, should drink each morning be fore breakfast, a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phos- phate In it, to wash from the liver and bowels the previous day's indigestible material, the poisons, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and freshening the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. Limestone phosphate does .not're- strict the diet like calomel, because It can not salivate, for it is harmless and you can eat anything afterwards.

Owl Jack thought her slight blush and smile sufficient warrant for brazenly joining her. and aeked, "Whither away ?" in as natural a manner as if be had just stepped out of Sherwood Forest instead of Eighteenth street. 8o Belinda admitted that ..he was on her way to the dime domain of demo- cratic delight ; and Jack, being an old friend, begged to go along, saying tbst he enjoyed it more than any other shop in the city, because one felt une could have anything in the place -"and. you don't feel that in Tiffapy's, you know I" Bettnditlatathed at the very notion, and said: "Butthere are people who could feel that in any store in the world. How queer it must he !" "Still," Jacit answered. "the only things worth having are the ones that cost us self-denial." "That's true," said Belinda, and thought how wise Jack was -being about the 1,200,983rd young woman to think some young fellow wise for Making the very same remark in vari- ous tongues in this great world's his - tatty. And she added, "I think poor people like you and me get ae much fun out of little things- -" etc., as some 878.721 young women have re- plied in the same period. Similar momentous speeches, illus- trated by Belindi s bright eyes and trained in her pretty lips, or set to the accompaniment of Jack'. sympathetic voice, beguiled the way to the ten - cent ,tore ; and here they entered that modern marvel. The dollar hill in Belinda') tight clasp seemed to swell with the gigan- tic poesibilities each counter presented. But, warned by her for mer experience, she held a straight course to the coun- ter where were displayed the hat - frames on which -on the chosen one of which --Belinda was to construct her lessened ideal. And here is where Jack displayed the tact of a true gentleman ; be did not need to be told that the trying -on of an inchoate and as yet unrealized hat -one in posse, not in ease- was a rite not for lover's eye.. He pretended a keen interest in • remote and alien counter, first arranging to meet at a fixed rendezvous where genuine oil - paintings "with frames" tempted the ten -cent taste for high art. All this is commonplace enough, ex- cept that a pair of young lovers is no more commonplace than a lily of the Held, or the bong of the thrush. But what happened next was a curious co- incidence. Jack was studying law at a night - school; and the man who eat next him spoke of having seen him with "a real lady," meaning Belinda, who certainly did wear her gowns with an air. "Who is the ?" he asked with the privilege of an intimate friend. "A friend of reline," said Jack. "i've known her for two years. She works in Griffin's. In the cashier's de- partment." "Whew 1" his fellow -student whis- tled, neieelessly. Then he laughed cynically, and said : "The cashier had better count his cash! Do you know what she did today? You know I'm looking after the Belgian Fund down at our place. Well, she came in there as large as a moving picture, and planked down four dollars for the babies. Pretty good for a cash -girl, eh?"

Thorough Planning and Familiarity With Plans a Great Help. Pte. Jack McGillicuddy, brother of Mrs. (Rev.) G. M. Holmes of town, writes to his father, Thomas McGilli- cuddy, of the Department of Agricul- ture, Toronto. a description of the re- cent fighting around Arras. Describ- ing the method with which the at- tacks were planned he writes : "One thing that impressed mis as showing the confidence of our men was the way everything was planned ahead. At such a time a party was to consoli- date ouch a German trench ; after -- was taken at d a. m. a working party would repair the road, etc. All this was planned to be carried out on Ger- man ground long before the attack took place. Then the ability of the men is shown in the fact that they carried the plans out. Even the heavy artillery gives lie the feeling that we have the upper hand on Fritzie."
